32. Carolina Panthers

 

New head coach Matt Rhule certainly has his work cut out for him. While Carolina still fields young talent in the front seven with Burns and Thompson, its secondary may be the weakest in the league. Burris and Chinn will compete opposite Boston at safety, while Elder and Pride are likely to battle for a starting cornerback spot across Jackson. Not exactly an ideal list of players to match up against NFC South quarterbacks. The Panthers require instant impact from rookies Brown and Gross-Matos to compensate for their pass defense.

If Elder makes this team, we will absolutely be ranked dead last. 

If he is a starter I will agree, but he will make the team.  The rest of the CBs on the roster are PS guys

Who is the leader on the defense?

You’d think that it would be SHORT, but nope. He’s just a fat overpaid guy who is underperforming while fans are still living off his one great season in 2015. The leader will be Shaq, Tre or Whitehead.

Aside from the Redskins, I don’t think Mr. Toast, I mean Elder makes another practice squad in the league if we cut him today.

Until we prove otherwise... I can't argue with this. Based purely on last year, this is the result you get when tallying it up. When figuring in this offseason, you still end up with more question marks than exclamation marks.

We'll be better than advertised, but how much better is an unanswerable question. On paper... well, we're just back to a bunch of question marks.

    • Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.
    • Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane  
    • Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
